The present invention relates to a reusable cup comprising a cup body formed from a liquid impervious, flexible material, the cup having an upper portion, a middle portion and a base portion, and having foldable pre-forms arranged so as to define at least a first folding hinge around a first circumferential location interposed between the middle portion and the upper portion, and a second folding hinge around a second circumferential location, separate from the first circumferential location, interposed between the base portion and the middle portion, an outer peripheral band is formed around the middle portion of the cup to provide a central band, wherein the cup body is foldable into itself, at the circumferential locations, so as to adopt a nested, concentric form.

Container systems and closure systems having lids with a closed position, an intermediate open position, and a fully open position. Processes related thereto.

A cutlery carrying case assembly includes a case that has a box portion defining a storage space and a lid hingedly coupled to the box portion for closing the storage space and the lid has a plurality of slots is integrated into the lid. A knife holder is positioned in the box portion of the case and the knife holder has a plurality of storage cuts each extending into the knife holder. A plurality of chef's knives is each insertable into a respective one of the storage cuts in the knife holder for storing the plurality of chef's knives. A plurality of kitchen knives is each insertable into a respective one of the slots in the lid for storage. A cutting board is positionable on top of the plurality of chef's knives when the plurality of chef's knives is stored in the knife holder.

A silicone extruded spring strap that has the possibility to be folded around an axis parallel to its own axis of extrusion, thus creating the compression and release as of a spring. The base has a reach-in hole on its body to allow the user to reach through. The lid is the base's capping object; it is designed to cover the reach-in hole of the base. It should be designed in a way to limit the area of the remaining gaps of the base's reach-in hole. The spring strap clip designed to allow the extension of the spring during the closing motion of the lid. The extruded spring strap can store and release energy in order to displace the lid. It can be of any material that provides the appropriate stiffness to activate the lid. The retention latch is the user interface on which he acts in order to have the lid popup.

Disclosed herein are tethered cap and spout combinations. The tethered cap and spout combinations prevent loss of the cap after opening. In an implementation, the tethered cap and spout combinations may provide mechanisms for puncturing or opening a seal that may be present at a throat or neck of the container which provides both an anti-tampering and freshness function. In an implementation, the tethered cap and spout combinations may provide anti-tampering mechanisms. In an implementation, the tethered cap and spout combinations may provide mechanisms to hold an opened and tethered cap away from the container opening during use.

A closure for a container for storing granulated powder. The closure includes a collar and a lid, a locking portion on the collar, and a locking portion on the lid, the collar locking portion operable to releasably engage the lid locking portion when the lid is in a closed position on the collar. The closure further includes a latch element on the collar and a latch element on the lid, the collar last element operable to releasably engage the lid locking portion. Some embodiments are operable to provide two audible sounds verifying the lid has been properly closed. Some embodiments include a modified elongated scoop having a length equal to the diameter of the inner perimeter of the lid for improved user experience scooping product from the bottom of a container.

A cap (1) for containers, which comprises a cylindrical body formed by the articulated joint between two superimposed parts, a lower part (2) having gripping means for retention thereof on the neck (20) of the container, and an upper part (3) having an upper base (5) joined to a perimeter wall (7), wherein said perimeter wall (7) comprises a visor (9) for enabling the opening of the cap (1), wherein said visor (9) comprises a flap (10) disposed transversely thereto and in correspondence to a complementary cut-out (4) provided on the upper edge of the lower part (2), wherein said flap (10) comprises, on an inner surface, a cord (11) disposed transversely to the axial axis of the cap (1) for executing the grip of the upper part (3) to the neck (20) of the container.

A cleanable lid assembly is provided for a beverage container. The lid assembly has a lid housing having a drink aperture positioned at least partially radially exterior of the connection member. The lid assembly also has a seal assembly. The seal assembly has a hinge member connected to the lid housing, a seal arm connected to the hinge member, and a drink seal connected to the seal arm. The seal assembly is connected to the lid housing while movable between a first or operable position and a second or cleaning position. The seal arm traverses both generally radially and generally axially to extend the drink seal to the drink aperture as the seal assembly transitions to the first position.

A package includes a cup for storing liquids and a lid for mounting on a brim of the cup. The lid is formed to include a sipping feature so that a consumer can drink liquid from the cup while the lid is mounted on the brim.

A lid is provided that includes an access opening in a top wall thereof selectively coverable by a pivotable cover. The lid attaches to a foodstuff container and provides access to an interior of the container. The lid achieves this without requiring removal of the lid while also providing an impeded foodstuff dispense path having greater control. The cover pivots between open and closed positions, and in one form, can be secured in one or both positions. This can be achieved by releasably securing the cover to the top wall to hold the cover in the closed position and/or capturing a tab of the cover within a depression in an edge portion of the lid to hold the cover in the open position. The cover can further be integrally attached to the lid so that the cover is generally coplanar with the top wall when in the closed position.
